NTS Grid: 31M13NW
Point Location Description: Precise
Location Method: Conversion from MDI
Access Description: Access is gained from a gravel bush road running east of Boston Creek, to the former Mirado Mine site, and then travelling approximately 2 miles south along a winter road and the 0.5 miles east along a trail.
The property was originally staked in the early 1990's by George Tough. He completed numerous trenches and sank a 50 foot deep shaft on a wide alteration zone. In 1990 R. Hill power stripped the shaft area with follow-up mapping and sampling. A grab sample returned 0.425 opt Au. In 1991, Hill and F. Ploeger cleaned up and resampled old trenches. Propecting revealed an interesting area 300 feet east of the shaft that was stripped and sampled. Two short diamond drill holes were completed near the shaft and the new structure east of the shaft. Assays of core samples west of the shaft ranged from 0.009 to 0.064 opt Au. In 1992 Hill and Ploeger stripped and sampled an area about 200 feet west of the shaft. Assays of blasted samples ranged from 0.009 to 0.036 opt Au. Assays of the showing east of the shaft ranged from 7 ppb Au to 0.035 opt Au.

Dec 07, 2005 (D Guidon) - A 55-65 foot wide alteration zone crosses the property at about 060 degrees. It has been exposed over a strike length of about 500 feet. The alteration zone is represented in the mafic volcanic rocks by a zone of bleaching containing carbonate, quartz, feldspar and disseminated pyrite.
